Cheap Chinese oysters flood into Vietnam

(QNgTV) - Over the past month, Chinese golden oysters have been imported to markets in the North in large quantities and advertised widely on social networks, with wholesale prices of only 30,000-47,000 VND per kilogram, and eye-catching designs that overwhelm domestic products.

Chinese golden oysters are sold in many online markets.

This type of oyster is considered by traders to have "full, fatty meat, 10 like one" with a light yellow shell, large round intestines, and is popular in many restaurants and eateries. On social networks, golden oysters are sold widely, not only packed in 50 kg boxes but also separated into 1 kg boxes for retail sale. While some shop owners admit their Chinese origin, many places still label them as Quang Ninh oysters for easy consumption. This situation causes difficulties for many farmers in Quang Ninh.

Local oysters are mainly milk oysters that are bred domestically and raised naturally. They are usually smaller, have less fatty meat, and are less attractive in appearance, so consumption is slow and prices are squeezed. Many farmers say that their products are safe and chemical-free, but they are still at a disadvantage because they cannot compete in appearance.
